1 Non-Lethal Blunt Trauma Grenade Performance Improvement Mr. Ryan Olsen RDECOM ARDEC 28 March st Annual Gun, Ammunition and Missiles Symposium and Expedition
2 Problem Statement Item not meeting quantitative requirement for ball velocity with a statistically significant test sample.
3 Battlefield Threats Changes in the battlefield threats result in identified need for a new material solution. Threatening civilian buildup Hostile civilian gatherings Rioting in detainee camps These threats require an effective non-lethal solution to stop, confuse, disorient, and/or temporarily incapacitate without escalating the situation.
4 Non-Lethal Materiel Solutions Available non-lethal solutions Flash bang/stun grenades Tear gas grenades Various blunt trauma devices Stingball grenade Rubber bullets Non-Lethal Claymore Tasers Batons Etc Gap in capability- Long range riot control non-lethal munitions
5 M99 66 mm Light Vehicle Obscuration Smoke System (LVOSS) launched, blunt trauma grenade. Grenade contains three submunitions that can effectively launch downrange, producing a bright flash, loud bang, and dispersion of PVC balls. M98 - training / flash bang version. No blunt trauma balls
6 Effective Non-Lethal Requirement Qualitative user need for effective non-lethal must be reflected as quantitative requirement in item specification. Qualitative Requirement - Multiple blunt trauma devices to produce enough force upon impact against identified targets to be an effective non lethal solution. Quantitative Requirement - Ball Velocity Threshold: 290 ft /s at 3 feet Sound Output: 160 db at 5 feet
7 Requirement Verification Dispersion pattern requires innovative method to verify item specification for ball velocity Calibrated foam panels balls penetrate panels Depth of penetration correlated to velocity
8 Course of Action Identify root cause for performance deficiency Identify and implement an immediate corrective action Test statistically significant test sample to demonstrate corrective action
9 Root cause Analysis Lean /Six Sigma process used to address entire system: Cause and effects analysis identified potential causes for performance deficiency Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was used to identify the risk associated with each cause. Design of Experiments (DOE) was generated to experimentally evaluate the interactions of risk areas Program Decision to investigate item identified with the highest risk- energetic (burster mix) production.
10 Burster Mix Production Effort Objective: Quality controlled scale-up of laboratory burster mix to production batch Compare with older batches to give insight on how variations of the mix affect the performance. Correlate performance of submunition to burster mix properties Quality control verification - particle size, sieve analysis, bulk density, composition analysis, etc Closed bomb testing. Key burster mix performance measurements: rise time peak pressure Slope function time Submunition testing. Key end item performance factors: Ball velocity Reliability (rate of low order functions) Sound level
11 Performance Correlations Closed bomb Burster mix performance compared to ball velocity
12 Burster Mix Effort Results Consistent lab batch and production level batch could not be generated. Large standard deviations for closed bomb test within each batch sample. Correlation between performance of the different batches and batch properties was low due to mix inconsistency. Performance was not improved. Average ball speed for all variations of mix was lower then the item specification requirement. FMEA re-addressed: Burster mix formulation identified as the new item with the highest risk.
13 Burster Mix Formulation Effort Decision to replace the burster mix due to high risk. An Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) downselect matrix was generated to carefully outline and rank criteria for selecting a replacement mix. Testing was conducted and data for other AoA criteria was gathered to fill the necessary information into the matrix. Upon matrix evaluation, the mix with the largest value was selected as the prime candidate.

19 Test Statistically Significant Sample Engineering Level Test plan generated to validate performance of new configuration prior to full Production Verification Testing (PVT) testing. If testing is successful, PVT testing will commence with Full Material Release to follow.
20 Future Efforts Investigate correlation of qualitative requirement to quantitative item specification requirement. Develop robust and reliable test method for verifying quantitative effective non-lethal requirement for non-lethal bursting munitions. Investigate a perchlorate free replacement energetic that yields acceptable end item performance.
